ABSTRACT:
A pet feeder holding food and/or water dishes for domestic animals. The pet feeder helps to keep pets from scattering their food or splattering their drink out of their dishes, and is especially useful for preventing dogs with floppy ears from getting their ears wet. In the preferred embodiment, the invention has interfitting top and bottom parts. The top part has a handle, and two opposite openings. Likewise, the bottom part has a bottom surface, and two opposite openings, which continue and are equal in width with the openings in the top part. Within each opening a dish can be placed, which may contain food or water. Normally, food will be placed in one dish, and water in the other. In an alternative embodiment, there is a hole in the top part to retain a water bottle allowing two different foodstuffs being placed in the dishes. The device prevents the long, floppy ears of certain animals from getting into the bowl. The top part may be lifted off the bottom part, using the handle. In yet another alternative embodiment, the device is a single unitary part, having a handle, a pair of opposing openings, and an optional retainer for a water bottle, or the like.
